This Podcast Is Episode 637, And It's About Pillar 1: Marketing - Attracting The Right Construction Jobs A Guide for Small Construction Business Owners (from Your Bookkeeper's Point of View) As construction bookkeeping specialists, we spend a significant amount of time analyzing the numbers behind small construction businesses—everything from job costs to cash flow to profit margins. However, here's the truth most contractors don't hear enough: Your profitability starts before the job even begins. Yes, it starts with the jobs you say yes to—and more importantly, the ones you should start saying no to. In this post, we'll break down what it means to attract the right jobs, how doing so can transform your business, and what practical steps you can take today to stop chasing work that doesn't serve you. First, Why Most Contractors Struggle to Attract the Right Clients Small contractors often accept every job that comes their way, especially when they're just starting or concerned about cash flow. But this creates several problems: Low-paying work that barely covers your costs Clients who delay payment or constantly push scope boundaries Traveling too far for small, unprofitable jobs A lack of consistency in your portfolio and referrals If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. But this cycle drains your energy and your bank account. And it makes your bookkeeping a mess—because when job costs are unclear or inconsistent, it's hard to see which jobs made money and which didn't. The Right Job: What Does That Actually Mean? The "right" job looks a little different for every contractor, but here's a basic framework: You're qualified and equipped to do it well You can complete it profitably (based on your costs and ideal margin) It fits within your service area It aligns with the type of work you want to be known for The client respects your time and process When all five of these boxes are checked, it becomes easier to plan, price, and deliver the work, and you'll often get paid faster and with fewer headaches. Why Your Bookkeeper Cares About the Jobs You Choose From our side of the books, here's what we see when you start attracting better jobs: Cleaner job costing data, because each project has a clear scope and budget Healthier margins, because the client isn't nickel-and-diming you Improved cash flow, because payments come in on time More predictable expenses, so budgeting and forecasting become easier That provides a solid financial foundation to build upon. So, how do we make that shift? 6 Ways to Start Attracting Better Jobs   1. Define Your Niche Clearly Clients won't know what to hire you for unless you tell them—clearly and often. Specializing doesn't limit your options; it sharpens your value. Do you focus on bathrooms, decks, additions, or full remodels? Do you serve residential, commercial, or both types of clients? Are your ideal jobs $5,000 or $50,000? Once you define your sweet spot, you can market smarter and spend less time chasing the wrong leads. 2. Price Your Work with Confidence (Not Emotion) One of the biggest mistakes we see is pricing based on "what you think the client can afford" instead of what the job costs you. That's how good contractors end up underpaid and overworked. With proper job costing and an understanding of your overhead, you can create bids that are both competitive and profitable. And here's the kicker: high-quality clients don't just want the cheapest quote—they want clarity and professionalism. Pricing with confidence attracts better clients. 3. Professional Estimates and Invoicing = Trust Want to stand out from the competition without spending a dime on ads? Use detailed, easy-to-read estimates with clear line items Include terms, timelines, and payment schedules Send professional invoices on time, every time This builds trust right away—and clients are more likely to choose you over "Chuck in a truck," who scribbles an estimate on a notepad. 4. Use Photos, Reviews, and Referrals to Tell Your Story People hire those they trust. And in construction, trust is often built through: Before-and-after photos Client testimonials Word-of-mouth referrals If you're not already collecting these, make it part of your post-job checklist. Ask happy clients for a quick review or permission to take a photo of them. Share success stories on social media and your website. Your work speaks for itself—but only if people can see it. 5. Simplify Your Online Presence You don't need a fancy website to get found—you need: A Google Business Profile (with updated contact info and service area) A few recent photos and reviews A clear description of your services This makes it easy for local clients to find and trust you. We've seen contractors double their inquiries just from a well-maintained Google listing. 6. Pre-Qualify Your Leads Your time is valuable. Before driving out for a quote, ask a few key questions: What's the project timeline? What's your rough budget? Have you worked with contractors before? Is the property ready for work to begin? These questions help you avoid tire-kickers and focus on serious leads. How Bookkeeping Supports Better Marketing Decisions Once you've improved your lead quality and project fit, your bookkeeping data becomes a valuable asset. You'll start to see: Which types of projects are your most profitable Which areas or clients tend to pay faster What marketing sources bring the best leads This allows you to double down on what works—and stop wasting time and money on what doesn't. The Payoff: Less Stress, Better Clients, Stronger Business When you start attracting the right jobs: You waste less time quoting projects that go nowhere You gain consistency in your income and schedule Your financial reports become easier to understand and use You build a brand that clients want to refer and return to It's not about doing more—it's about doing smarter. Need Help Getting Clear on Your Numbers? If you're unsure what your ideal job actually costs—or how to price it for profit—we can help. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we don't just categorize expenses; we also ensure that they are accurately recorded and accounted for. We help you understand: Job costing Profit margins Overhead Cash flow So you can build with confidence and say yes only to the jobs that grow your business, not drain it. Do you need help setting up your job costing system or reviewing your project margins? Book a free consultation, and let's ensure your books are aligned with the type of work you want to do.

Why Did Your Referral Sources Dry Up?Referrals are the lifeblood of many law practices, but what happens when this vital stream of business mysteriously dries up? The answer might be more systematic than you think.Most attorneys operate under a dangerous misconception: that referral relationships are built on loyalty. The harsh reality? Referrals come from relevance, not loyalty. The solution requires a mindset shift: stop treating referrals as random favors and start managing them as a strategic marketing channel. Resources:Cut PPC Costs Instantly (Free E-Book)Premium PodcastFor more, visit rosenadvertising.comSend us a textSupport the show

In a fiery discussion, the hosts react to the unprecedented criminal referrals of former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey. They detail how Brennan and Comey allegedly knew the Steele dossier was fabricated by Hillary Clinton's campaign but still used it to justify spying on Donald Trump's team and to mislead Congress and the public. Drawing parallels to Soviet-era intelligence corruption, the hosts condemn what they call felony-level perjury and illegal surveillance, contrasting the lack of accountability for powerful officials with everyday Americans punished for minor offenses. As media narratives prepare to paint Trump as a dictator for pursuing justice, the conversation underscores why many see this as a long-overdue reckoning.

Here's the brutal truth about social media for sales: You're already behind, and it's going to be a grind. That's the reality Margarita from Dallas discovered when she called into our podcast. She's a seasoned realtor with 20+ years of experience, built her entire business on referrals and warm market relationships, and suddenly realized she needs to master social media to stay competitive. Sound familiar? You're not alone if you're staring at this digital mountain wondering how the hell you're going to climb it. But what makes Margarita's situation even more challenging and why her story matters to every sales professional reading is this: She's trying to compress 20 years of relationship building into a social media strategy that can compete with people who've been doing this for decades. The Tom Cruise Problem: Building Your Social Media Presence Takes Time Remember the first time you saw Tom Cruise in a movie? For me, it was Risky Business, some kid dancing around in his underwear. He wasn't the "last movie star" then. He was just another actor trying to make it. But here's the thing: Today, if you saw Tom Cruise walking down the street, you'd lose your mind. You'd want selfies, autographs, the whole nine yards. Why? Because over decades, he created millions of micro-interactions that built trust, familiarity, and fandom. That's exactly what you need to do on social media. You need to create fans of YOU. The problem is that most sales professionals want to skip the relationship-building phase and jump straight to the closing phase. They want to post a few listing videos and magically generate leads. That's not how it works. The Algorithm Rewards Consistency, Not Perfection Here's the part that's going to hurt: You need to post every single day. Not when you feel like it. Not when you have something "good" to share. Every. Single. Day. When you first start, your content is going to suck. Your first TikTok video? Three people will watch it. Your first Instagram post? Crickets. Your first LinkedIn article? Your mom and your real estate buddy will like it. I know because I've been there. We've all been there. The algorithms don't care about your feelings—they care about consistency. Think about it this way: You're not just competing with other sales professionals for attention. You're competing with Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, and every other form of entertainment for your prospects' eyeballs. The only way to win that battle is to show up relentlessly until people start recognizing your name and face. The Two-Bucket Strategy: Marketing vs. Lead Generation When you think about social media as a sales professional, you need to separate it into two distinct buckets: Bucket 1: Marketing and Brand Building This is about name recognition, familiarity, and staying top-of-mind. When people in your market are ready to buy or sell, your name should be the first one they think of. This bucket is about volume, consistency, and building your personal brand. Bucket 2: Direct Lead Generation This is about watching what prospects are doing, engaging with them directly, and converting social interactions into sales conversations. This bucket is about quality, relationship building, and moving people from digital relationships to actual appointments. Most people focus entirely on Bucket 1 and wonder why they're not getting leads. Others focus only on Bucket 2 and wonder why their content isn't reaching anyone. You need both working in harmony. Your 3-Pillar Content Strategy System Here's what you need to post consistently: Original Content: This is your unique perspective, your experience, your stories. If you're a 20-year veteran like Margarita, you have war stories that new agents don't. You've survived market crashes, interest rate spikes, and industry changes. Share that wisdom. Curated Content: Find industry articles, market reports, and news relevant to your prospects.
